In couples therapy, we’ll explore barriers that prevent you from feeling close. Utilizing Gottman Method, you’ll be guided through productive meaningful conversations and process your feelings to better understand what impacts your relationship.
In couples therapy we dive into processing past unhealed injuries and learn new ways of communicating. You’ll develop skills to deepen your intimacy and manage conflict more effectively. I customize treatment plans with each couple to meet your unique goals.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based treatment for trauma & other distressing life experiences. Sometimes these events can cause thoughts, beliefs, images, emotions, or physical sensations to persist long after the threat has passed. It can keeps us from having freedom to think about other things. Rather than focusing on changing the emotions, thoughts, or behaviors resulting from the distressing issue, EMDR allows our brain to resume its natural healing process & resolve unprocessed memories.
During individual therapy sessions, you’ll have a safe space to explore how your mind is impacting your life. This is where it all comes together. Bringing in your stressors + guidance on coping skills + processing through lived experiences that have gotten you where you are today. I’m a body-positive & identity-affirming therapist specializing in young adults & professionals facing anxiety, disordered eating, body image issues, trauma, relationship challenges, perfectionism, depression, and women's issues.
Communication. Connection. Intimacy. Repair. Let's build your relationship on a solid foundation.
I am a lifelong learner at heart and believe in the power of knowledge. Sharing ideas, new research, and strategies that help communities, organizations, and individuals is my jam! As we grow as individuals, by cultivating understanding, courage, and compassion, we deepen ourselves to be able to help others. I present on topics related to body image, eating disorders, Health at Every Size™, anxiety, burnout and self-care. Want something customized? I can create presentations or workshops on these or other topic areas in order to meet your group's needs.
As a clinical supervisor, my goal is to provide a space where supervisees feel safe yet challenged to conduct a thorough self-examination needed to become a solid counselor. I provide guidance and support as you're gaining opportunities to develop your professional identity, knowledge, and skills. I use the 7-Eyed Model of supervision that examines transferences, relational dynamics, provision of feedback and processing of your clinical work, caseload, role playing, and experiential exercises during individual or in a combination of group and individual supervision.
Reiki is a powerful yet gentle system of healing that promotes a deep release of stress promoting a connection between mind, body, and spirit. In a Reiki session, you will be guided to focus on your physical sensations and use the space as a channel to allow your spirit to relax and energy to flow through your body. I will help to guide where there may be energy blockages or underlying subconscious emotions that are unresolved that are holding you back from your highest good. Reiki clears negative energy out of your body so your life force can flow freely and align in balance.
Engagement. Community. Growth. By building ourselves up, we can better support others.

I feel safe/secure in my therapy/client relationship with Ametis. I have been In therapy more than 10 yrs and last 2 yrs with Ametis, I have made more progress in my mental/emotional health. Ametis, you are a God-send.
We love Ametis. She is exactly the person we needed to help manage our situation. With her help and guidance, we truly feel stronger as a couple. She has been a blessing, especially through the craziness the epidemic has thrown at us.
Sessions are going very well with Ametis. I like her ability to create a comfortable and open environment. She is a great conversation starter, and it’s easy to express ourselves about anything. Ametis is very welcoming and a great listener.
Ametis always summarizes what I’m saying to make sure she understands me and it makes me feel like she really is listening and cares. I have processed trauma from my childhood and am improving with trust in my relationship.
The sessions were rough at first, but Ametis was able to get us taking and comfortable with each other. We’ve gained better communication skills and aren’t holding in emotions anymore.
